A Win-Win Situation. Helping Others & Saving Money.

Breakfast is a crucial meal for us all, especially kids. Children who eat school breakfast miss less school and get higher math scores, making them 20% more likely to graduate high school. But there are a lot of kids who aren’t getting breakfast. In fact, of the 21 million U.S. kids who get free or reduced-price school lunch, only half of those eligible kids get breakfast.

You can help out simply by clipping coupons and using them to save on the groceries you buy every week. At couponsforchange.org, every three coupons used gives one meal to a hungry child.
